Chapter 605: Sweet Chestnut Cake
ey’re hiring and the conditions are really good,” Lin Xiaoru finally got to the point. “I was thinking, since you’re so talented, if you switched jobs there, your treatment would definitely be better...Chapter 605: Chestnut Cake
Gu Ke Yu, in an attempt to conceal the suspicious blush on her cheeks, nodded hastily and then bowed her head back down to continue working on her problems.
All exams have a set time limit, and this one, being a mock exam that Lu Jiayan also values highly, she couldn't afford to waste time.
The tip of the pen danced on the paper, accompanied by a rustling sound. Time passed quickly, and Gu Ke Yu's control over time was still considered satisfactory.
The exam was finally finished. Gu Ke Yu let out a breath and handed the practice book to Lu Ji Yan with a smile.
It was only then that Lu Jiayan lifted his head from the computer, taking the practice book at the same time and slamming the computer shut with a snap. He looked extremely serious as he began to review the practice book.
Gu Ke Yu sat opposite Lan Ji Yan, who was chattering away. She propped her chin up and unconsciously began to scrutinize him.
Just because Si Nian appeared suddenly, she didn't have time to look at Lu Ji Yan's appearance today, her mind was full of gossip.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that Lu Jien today was dressed in a particularly unique way. In the past, he always wore a suit, appearing serious and aloof.
He was currently wearing a deep blue shirt, which added to his overall air of sophistication.
As time passed, the guests at the teahouse began to leave one by one. The sound of their conversation had dwindled compared to earlier.
The slanted light hit Lu Jiayan's face, making his delicate features look very handsome.
Gu Ke Yu keenly sensed the change in her inner emotions, and for a moment, it seemed as if her face had flushed even redder.
Lu Jiayan was earnestly grading the exam papers, not at all affected by the noisy environment.
Gu Ke'yu couldn't help but stare at his knife-like face, they had known each other for some time.
But her impression of Lu Jiayan stayed on the surface, an elite, capable, and competent man.
Until today, she seemed to feel for the first time the unique charm about him.
"The grades are okay!"
Lü Jìyán had already lifted his head and smiled faintly, now facing Gu Kěyù's bewildered gaze.
Gu Ke Yu couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this, quickly taking the practice book from Lu Ji Yan's hands. On the top, a prominent number was noted in red pen.
69!
Although this score isn't high, it's acceptable for a physics exam with a maximum score of 110.
Moreover, she has been out of school for so many years, to be able to perform this well on her first exam is already very good.
"I didn't expect you to do so well, luckily the gift I prepared for you will come in handy this time."
Gu Ke Yu was stunned, watching Lu Ji Yan take out a small paper bag from the red envelope. It didn't look very delicate, but it was too familiar...
The fragrance had already reached her nostrils. Gu Ke'yu's eyes were slightly red, and she opened the paper bag in three or two moves.
"This is...the chestnut cake sold in the village..."
Gu Ke'yu's hand trembled slightly as it rested on the paper bag, and his voice also quivered.
"How did you even get this"
The familiar scent immediately struck Gu Ke Yu, it was the chestnut cake he loved as a child.
The village itself didn't have much in the way of snack shops, so the chestnut cake was already one of her little joys.
Although she didn't get to eat it often as a child, it was still the warmest part of her memory.
She left the village to work in the city and didn't expect to be able to eat it again.
"I just remember you liking this. I happened to pass by there the other day on a business trip, so I picked one up for you."
Lu Jiayan's voice was light, as if it were a trivial matter. However, Gu Ke's hand kept trembling, and finally gradually clenched the paper bag.
A lump of cotton seemed to be stuck in her throat, and a nameless feeling surged within her. She couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Gu Ke Yu knew very well that a CEO of his level would never go on a business trip to the countryside. And even less so to a village deep in the mountains...
Given that the path is so long and muddy, how could he possibly pass by there He must have gone out of his way specifically.
Although Gu Ke's heart felt some warmth, there were more emotions that were hard to express.
Because there are always people who care so much about themselves and are willing to do things specially for themselves.
But Lü Jiyan treats himself this way because he always sees himself as a stranger.
But the warmth emanating from the paper bag in her hand, the aroma of chestnut cake wafting into her nostrils at this moment, made it feel incredibly real.
Even knowing that his gentleness and consideration weren't directed at himself, he still couldn't help but be moved by it.
Give it a try.
Lu Jiyan smiled and urged softly, "This girl must be so touched she's gone silly, standing there for ages without moving a finger."
“Because I bought it in advance and left it in the refrigerator overnight, even if it's heated, it probably won't taste as good as before. You should try it quickly.”
Gu Ke Yu merely nodded silently, then opened the paper bag and took out a chestnut cake. He lightly tasted it.
Although it wasn't as fresh as just made, the difference in taste was almost negligible.
The sweetness of the chestnut cake is just like the memories of my childhood.
"How is it After one night, it might not be as fresh anymore... Is the taste still good"
Although Lu Jiayan tried to appear relaxed, his shoulders were still tense, clearly showing some nervousness.
Even a man who usually held high office and made decisions with ruthless decisiveness could be nervous about something so trivial.
This actually made her seem kind of adorable... Gu Ke Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Delicious, exactly the same taste!"
Even the sense of happiness it brought was stronger than when she was a child. Although she loved food since she was little, this pastry had always been her sister's exclusive treat at home.
Gu Kejun was so determined to make himself miserable that he would even break it and throw it into pig feed, refusing to take a bite himself.
In the end, he didn't even dare to show that he loved chestnut cakes, how ironic.
At that time, how could she have imagined that someone would be willing to trek across mountains and rivers to buy her favorite pastries for her.
Gu Ke Yu ate another piece, the sourness in her eyes was already unbearable. She picked up a piece and wanted to offer it to Lu Ji Yan.
However, the man smiled and refused. He didn't want to interrupt her happiness. She could enjoy these things now, the things he hadn't been able to have when they were younger.
Not until they had eaten almost all of it did Gu Ke'yu finally drink some tea. The coolness of the tea diluted the sweetness of the pastries in his mouth.
She then let out a light cough, slowly raising her head to look at Lu Jiayan.
"Before filming "The Imperial Pearl," I heard that Lee Dong-hae was arrested"
No sooner had he spoken than Lu Jiyan's face darkened instantly. The warmth and smile that were on his face just moments ago completely vanished! long time, Gu Chi opened his mouth with difficulty and said: "Okay, I promise you, I will accompany you. " 。"Really" Cheng Ruoruo was no longer hiding her joy at this moment, and once again hugged G...
